The files mirrored will be always offline. Moreover, for those files inside a shortcut folder, you will still be able to decide individually if you want to keep that file offline or not. You can also create shortcuts to those folders in the google drive website and they will work perfectly fine in your Mac. Then, click to change the folder to a new folder, I renamed mine as /Gdrive/.ħ- If you want to access the Depot, you will still see volumes in your computer. In the syncing options, check "Mirror Files".
Click in Google Drive preferences, go to "Google Drive Folders from the Drive". Delete the GoogleDrive app from that computer or delete the computer login you created.ĥ- Go to google drive website, and drag to the computer "DEPOT" every folder you know you might not need offline files, and you know it is heavy.Ħ- As your main "drive" is now lighter, you will now be able to go to your official computer and mirror files. For example, here I renamed "DEPOT".Ĥ- Quit GoogleDrive app. You can also rename your computer as you want. You can add as many folders you want, but you will not be able to change those names later, but you can add and change whatever you want inside.ģ- Once you have done this, you will see in your drive website that the folders you created will be seen on the left, inside My Computers.
At this step, I recommend you be generic, creating folder names like "Archived", "Old Projects" etc. You will not sync much here.Ģ- Go to Google Drive preferences, click on the tab "My computer, folders from your computer," and click "Add folder" to sync. Mark as stream files this is just temporary. After this, login in GoogleDrive with your account, just like you would be doing on a new computer.
In the case you are like me, with more than 1 TB of files, but you don't need all of them offline, here goes the workaround:ġ- Install GoogleDrive app on another computer (or just log off into your main computer and create a temporary user in your computer).
You should choose Mirror files and select a new GDrive folder, then the spotlight shall get back normally.
